He sent his two sisters nice boxes of Godiva chocolate (the $40 nicely wrapped boxes, so not trivial) for Christmas. They were delivered a week ago. Did either of them call? No, of course not. They are self-absorbed hags.

There is no weird relationship or baggage. My dad was the baby of the family. No animosity. They are just unpleasant people. Two of his brothers have died in the past few years and I think it's just important to him to reach out.

I'm crying right now because my mom just told me that when the phone rings, my dad is racing to pick up. He never answers the phone. I feel so bad for him. I wish I could call these two and bisque them out good. They didn't treat him well at his mothers funeral either; he was basically invisible since they tend to ignore/exclude whatever is out of their usual, small existences.

My bio father (who I wish to have no contact with) sent me a $100 bill. I'll donate $100 but it annoys the hell out of me that he sent it to me.

Why not keep it and buy yourself something nice? $100 is a lot!

I understand this. When I was in college, especially before I got my night job, my grocery budget was $20/ month. I still threw out those checks. I might be materialistic selfish bisque, but I still can't be bought.

This makes me so sad. I know not everyone is buddy buddy with their siblings but I can't imagine treating my brothers like that. Or how sad I'd be if they did that to me. Hugs to your dad :\

I don't know if I can explain the anger I felt from realizing he sent me a card. I thought about throwing it away without opening it but I figured I'd at least read what he wrote. I don't want anything to do with him or his money. I'm his only child and I'm not letting him even a little bit ever again.

I have to make a pecan pie, a red velvet cake, and a dozen cinnamon rolls (to rise overnight and bake in the morning) before I can go to bed tonight. What have done so far? Made the pie dough. That's it.

On the bright side: poopiebaby went to bed BEFORE 9pm and without a fight for the first time in three days, so at least now I can actually get some shiitake done (knock on wood).

What does it say about me that I always wanted the grinch to drop the sleigh off the cliff? And I'm not talking about like since I was an angsty teen, I have memories of being like 5 and hoping that this time the damn thing would just slip off.

Could it possibly be that they don't open them until Christmas? I never open presents until the day, so if it was me I'd have just shoved them under the tree, and would open and then phone thanks on the day itself.

That's a horrific story daisychain. I would have spent it. Then again, I don't give a shiitake. You give me money, I refuse it, offer it back once. Second time? It's mine. I'mma take it and run.

They sent it to me via a friend so I didn't have the chance to turn it down. They also sent me a slushy letter begging me to come home because they loved me. In the mean time they were constantly calling my phone screaming abuse at me. I ended up having to change my number and couldn't tell anyone where I lived. Because I didn't own the house I was staying in I couldn't get a restraining order. Because I didn't have thousands to spare I couldn't get a court order. This country sucks for abuse victims.
